Abstract This report states that long-term care providers in rural areas generally have a tougher time recruiting and retaining direct-care workers than their urban counterparts. It suggests numerous ways that the direct-care workforce in rural areas can be strengthened, including the establishment of worker-owned cooperatives, improved access to transportation, and internet-based training courses. An appendix lists even more resources -- including reports, case studies, and academic resources -- aimed at developing rural direct-care workforces.
